Japan presents a wonderful example as
to how the soil can be utilized. With
an area Of 10, 600, 900 acres, about equal
to that of California. the natives have
reduced agriculture to such scientific
principles as to feed and clothe 38,O0O,-
600 people, besides yielding 10000, 600
pounds Of tea, $4,000 bales of silk, and
large quantities of rice, tobacco and
hemp for export. OF the whole popula.
ton 100000 belong to the agricultural
class. The soil is black vegetable
mould, wonderfully fertile There are
few domestic animals, but the japanese
supply the place of barnyard manure
with bran, seaweed, non>edible fish snd
lime. Rice is the summer crop, and
wheat is grown on the same land in the
winter. The latter is boiled like rice OF
made into cakes, but bread is unknown
Grains are ground with small handmills

Egyptians. Every sort of vegetable II
grown, and at least 100 food plants

A Conyict's Peculiar Suicide.

A strange story ola convict's suicide
comes from Coahoma county, Miss. Last
Wednesday a gang of convicts were
clearing land on Fisher & Yerger's plan
tation, some distance back of Frlar's
Point, They had just chopped large
tree until its stately head was tottering
in the air and the woodland giant COM
menced to fall, when the word was to
run. The convicts and guards all re-
treated but one-a negro named Nose
SIN th-sent up six months before from
Pamela county to serve ten years sen.
tence Smith was on the side toward
which the tree was falling and made nc
attempt to run. He threw dowr his ak
folded his arms and with half smile
playing about his features, gazed steadily
upon the falling tree as it bore swiftly
down directly on him. The guards and
other convicts shouted at the doomed
man. but he needed them not. The
towering mass of wood reached the
ground, there was a crash of broker
boughs, and all was still except the
echoes which reverberated through tht
forest.
The immense weight of the tree had
crushed Smiths body out of all shape
and when the tree was rolled away only
a flattened pile of blood stained clothes
flesh and bones remained of the ten veal
man. Memphis Ledger.
